Hi there,

This is a continuation of a 2.2 forum thread that can found at:

http://www.ez.no/ez_publish/info/ez_publish_2_2/forum/general/every_file_asks_for_open_or_save_when_trying_to_download_from_ezp226_file_manager

We have a site with downloadable PDFs - if you go to download one of them you always get the open/save dialogue opening up. However, on the same webspace, if I place a PDF file and point my browser at it it opens within the browser as per usual. So it seems the issue is with Ez in some way.

Has anyone observed this or knows of a fix?

Thanks, Steve.

The HTTP setting Exponential uses for PDFs are defined here : lib/ezutils/classes/ezmimetype.php
Default : application/pdf

Try to see if your webserver return the same mimetype for linked files.

to

Björn and Kåre,

Thanks for the help - I now have this working.

Have changed to "Content-Disposition: inline" - FYI, the file I adjusted was ezfilepasstroughhandler.php found in kernel/classes/binaryhandlers/ezfilepasstrough

PDFs now open inside the browser :-)

Steve.
